Gosnell-Era Secretary of the Commonwealth Should NOT be Reinstated

From Pennsylvania Family Council

Pedro Cortés was Secretary of the Commonwealth for all of Gov. Ed Rendell’s administration. It was during those years that many of the worst of Kermit Gosnell’s crimes at his “House of Horrors” abortion clinic occurred. When the Philadelphia grand jury delivered its report on the Gosnell clinic, it singled out for special critique two departments: the Department of Health, and the Cortés-led Department of State.

Now, Cortés is once again Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth, and his permanent appointment is before the State Senate. It is a slap in the face of Gosnell’s thousands of victims to re-appoint the man whose department was specifically condemned for its delinquency in regulating abortion clinics like Gosnell’s across Pennsylvania.
